GLX Connect's products and services simplify the automation journey, enabling utilities to modernize their operations and unlock the full potential of their infrastructure.

Water Utilities are facing an increasingly complex landscape of challenges. To stay competitive and compliant, they must address the following issues:

1. Aging Workforce: As the workforce ages and the talent pool shrinks, utilities struggle to attract and retain skilled workers. This leads to inefficiencies and challenges in maintaining service quality.

2. Asset Management: Subpar asset management practices increase downtime, maintenance costs, and unexpected equipment failures, ultimately affecting service delivery and customer satisfaction.

3. Data Integration: Disparate systems and a lack of seamless data integration prevent utilities from making data-driven decisions, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal resource management.

4. System Optimization: Without proper system optimization, utilities face energy inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and a larger environmental footprint.

5. Energy Efficiency: Rising energy costs and a push toward sustainability require utilities to focus on improving energy efficiency, which directly impacts both the bottom line and compliance with evolving environmental regulations.

GLX Connect helps water utilities address these issues by offering advanced automation solutions that optimize processes, improve operational efficiency, and ensure regulatory compliance.
